Dear all!
The Office of National Collections of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is encouraging American Catholics to support the restoration of the persecuted Church in the former communist countries through the 2008 Collection for the Church in Central and Eastern Europe.
The theme of this year’s collection is, “Love is the only light”. This theme draws on the Holy Father’s first encyclical. Pope Benedict XVI writes, “Love is the light—and in the end, the only light—that can always illuminate a world grown dim and give us the courage needed to keep living and working” (God Is Love**Deus Caritas Est], no. 39).
Dear brothers and sisters, I highly encourage all of you to participate in this “spiritual revival”. Let us give generous donations to support seminaries, social service programs, youth ministry, pastoral centers, church construction and renovation, and the spreading of the Gospel message through the mass media.
